Welcome to NXT April 2022, and there’s plenty to look forward to as we cover the launch of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s much anticipated Gran Turismo 7 launch, which took place recently with an astounding vending machine filled with real supercars! In Gear, we take a look at Porsche’s Vision Gran Turismo Concept, which Porsche designed for GT7 and built one real example, then review the game in our Test pages. Also in this issue’s Gear section, we check out Lenovo’s range topping ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5, Apple’s delicious new iPad Air and Mac Studio and Huawei’s first desktop all-in-one PC, the MateStation X. For this issue’s main feature, we take a peek at Smart Home Gear, and some of the extraordinary products heading your way, from Sony’s latest Aibo Smart doggy to smart home hydroponics, light bulbs and even a smart toothbrush! In News, we check out the upcoming Black Shark 4 Pro gaming smartphone, Lenovo’s slim 16-inch Legion 5i Pro gaming notebook, while NXT Angel Clarissa takes Casio’s latest G-Shock G-Squad Red Outsports watches for a workout. For Luxury, there are a number of exclusive timepieces, including a collaboration between Koss Studio and the Batman movie, TAG Heuer’s homage to the Red Bull F1 team, and Chopard's gift to Cortina Watches for the boutique's 50th anniversary. Finally, in Test, we review LG’s blazing 240hz UltraGear 27GP750 gaming monitor, Astel & Kern’s Arco BE100 Bluetooth speaker and Jabra’s sporty Elite 4 Active earbuds.
